I do like this idea, but I wouldn't want to see Telltale do it right away. I'd prefer them to do an original IP, then perhaps move on to another existing franchise.
Since Indiana Jones is inspired by the old episodic serials that Spielberg and Lucas used to watch, I could see this working. I expect Lucas Arts to release a special edition of Fate of Atlantis though

Yes, their weakness for cliffhangers is definitly something that would draw TTG to the Indy franchise.
Also, this series would practically force Telltale to include some puzzles in their games again, a much needed push in the right direction. Indiana Jones episodes ftw!
Disclaimer: I got "The Complete Making Of the Indiana Jones Movies" for X-mas AND have thoroughly read Drew Struzan's latest artbook, which is very Indy-heavy, so I might be a little hyped.
The only Indiana Jones game i liked was Fate of Atlantis, and the other i kind of "liked" but not that much was the Emperor's tomb, it felt more like Tomb Raider than Indy.
I would love Indiana Jones point and click (wink wink) graphic Adventure not action adventure.
But don't you write degrading comments about women all the time? :0
They may be just words with a different meaning, social relevance to every one. I can not speak for every one, I can not give a full and complete meaning of my words, the weight on my words upon every human being in this world...
Words have a meaning but their not entirely relevant, after all...only socially...there's only subjective ideas that imply what I am like as a person, what I intend for others to view me as a person...All the flowery sentiment of emotions and feelings set in and you're only left with your own context and value of the words I've used...
South Park on the other hand may have set out to create a image for itself, has been illustrated, may literally paint a image for itself, may simply be a writting function, is not an embodiment of something as complicated as a human being....it's a flat image on your screen, not a human being, the writers are nearly invisble and they possibly work together to create a specific show/ image...
And that is why I don't like South Park it's perverted and retardation for the mind. I didn't love Indy 4 but it wasn't that bad, geeze...
Actually, that's EXACTLY what they're parodying. They aren't just parodying Indiana Jones, they're parodying THE FANS. Because the fans basically are idiots.
Mind you, the only dork in the group (Butters) didn't even seem to think the movie was all that bad, while the rest is just overacting.
Or, to put it in Butters' words:
Can't believe they put 'em in jail. I thought that movie was pretty good.

Yeah, but in the end, we actually see Lucas and Spielberg attempting to rape a Storm-Trooper.
Fate of Atlantis is a very good but also not perfect adventure. +) Indy feeling, Atlantis story, riddles in Atlantis, the beginning, several ways of solving the game, Fate of Atlantis really has some replay value -) not always this entertaining and smart riddles/scenes, sometimes travelling was annoying like to those one screen locations, again the Nazi stereotypes.
Anyway a good Atlantis movie most probably would have been the much better Indy 4 film.
About a TTG Indy adventure, +) another Indy, -) TTG lack of animation capabilities, TTG focus on a large lobotomized audience, episodes would need to be cut a lot better in order not to destroy the open Indy feeling.
Best would be a point&click with decent puzzles and a great adventure story but without beeing cynical that's not exactly what TTG is doing lately.

Fate of Atlantis is a better story than Indy 4. Sorry.
Am I the only one who would love to see TT either remake Fate of Atlantis, or do a new Indy adventure game? I've been kind of starved as an Indy fan lately....;P
I'd really just like Lucasarts to release a special edition of Fate of Atlantis, though I wouldn't mind a new series of Indy games based in a world where Sophia Hapgood was prominent and Indy was still fighting Germans.
Huh. IMO Doom had the best lighting, atmosphere, villains (voodoo rules atmosphere over Nazis), and pulp story out of all of them. It was actually about as dark and disgusting as pulp novels such as Doc Savage and the Shadow usually got. Since I love that stuff, I love Doom. Raiders was the best put together action film out of them with the best ideas for action scenes but Doom combined the most elements that I love from that sort of adventure story, so out of them all it was the best pulp film for me.

This will never happen, I fear.

I never thought I'd see the day you'd say something was perverted.
Have you played The Last Crusade adventure game?
Revived the thread, on that note you bumped me up...(almost works...)
Ah, I see what you've done there
Ah, I just now noticed that Vainamoinen committed some serious thread necromancy here.
I don't know about you but I hate that South Park reference. South Park may degrade everything it can get its hands on...

Seiously though, I don't see how you could have a sequel, unless Atlantis has other areas to be explored.
I love it, but I don't see how a sequel would work. Another Indy adventure game would be fine, but don't make it into a Fate of Atlantis sequel.
That was entirely the reason I bought Staff of Kings, also.

And this is South Park. They always exaggerate. I mean, surely Barbra Streisand isn't a big mofo huge mecha Godzilla.
Oh, man.
Do you have a Wii?

Boo.
I liked it. It was better then Temple of Doom in my opinion.
I just never liked Temple. I can't really choose, but the scale would probably be Raiders ~ Crusade > Crystal Skull > Doom.
I thought Temple was okay but I really didn't like Willie.
